Full Day

by Cheryl Merrick
Doing what is right for me,
Planning ahead to avoid pressure,
Spending my time and energieson what is most important to me,
Sharing my love with others,
Mentoring eight year old writers,
Keeping my home clean and in order,
Having plenty of prepared food to rotate,
Hours to study scripturesand work on family history,
Time to talk with my husbandand visit with friends,
Moments of meditationto sort out my thoughts,
Time to relax, to enjoy beauty, to write.

Simple days, with room to breatheand stretch the mind and soul,
A day full and overflowing.

Note on Poems

The poems before my 2017 poems, are poems which I wrote many years ago. Some are just notes of my thoughts at that time, not polished poems. My poems are the record of my life over 30 years; my joys, growth, beliefs, and struggle with coping with a major chronic illness (Addison's Disease) and with accepting and appreciating who I am (an introverted, intuitive, feeling person). My poems are my journal; the record of my life journey.
